The "Storico" model is a faithful philological reconstruction of the straps that equipped the Panerai watches supplied to the Xª Flottiglia MAS frogmen during the epic missions of World War II. Each piece is a tribute to Italian tanning mastery and the heroism of naval history. Material and Tanning: Crafted exclusively from premium vegetable-tanned leather. This traditional process allows the leather to age naturally, developing a unique patina over time that enhances the vintage character of the strap.
Period Design: The structure faithfully reproduces the original specifications of the wartime period, including the distinctive details that make each piece unique: Hand-numbering: Some models feature numbers written by hand, simulating the inventory markings of the era. Iron rivet: Featured on models that recall the historic strap mounted on the Panerai watch donated by Ernesto Notari to the Technical Naval Museum in La Spezia. The GPF Buckle: Each strap features the iconic flat-point GPF (Guido Panerai e Figlio) model buckle, strictly hand-sewn onto the strap, ensuring maximum strength and historical authenticity. Customization: Available in 7 colorways. Each strap is made to order to perfectly fit the measurements of the wrist and the watch.
Wearing the "Storico" model means carrying a piece of Italian diving watch history with you. The robustness of the leather, the hand-stitching, and the references to museum artifacts make it the ultimate accessory for collectors and vintage watch enthusiasts.
